Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson underwent an MRI that revealed positive news regarding the soreness that kept him out of practice on Sunday, general manger Kevyn Adams said.
Sabres coach Don Granato said Sunday that Thompson had been held out of practice as a precaution while the team conducted tests to ensure his soreness could not be worsened by playing. Thompson would have been a game-time decision had Buffalo's game Monday not been postponed, Adams said.
Buffalo is not scheduled to play until Dec. 27 after the NHL and NHL Players' Association agreed to a revised holiday break as the result of positive COVID-19 cases around the league.
